A good part of today was spent at the sheep show for the wool breeds. There are some very nice looking sheep. Take a look:
 |
| A ewe class. Pitchfork Ranch took the class. |
 |
| A ewe class. Pitchfork Ranch took 2nd with their BFL. |
 |
| Yep, that's my DH lending a hand in the show ring. |
 |
| Just a nice looking pair. |
 |
| Flock class. Larson's Lincolns took the class. |
 |
| "I want to go home!" |
 |
| Natural color class. |
Even though it was still very crowded today it wasn't suffocatingly crowded like Saturday, so we got some shopping done, both Christmas shopping and fiber shopping. Take a look:
 |
| That's a pocket wheel and I got on the 6-month waiting list for one. It will be here next spring before I go to Canada in June. That's Jon McCoy, the wheel maker. |
 |
| The pocket wheel is made of hard wood, 18" tall, weighs 6 pounds, and easily fits into a tote bag (or under the seat on an airplane). It will be great to take my own wheel to Canada for the next three years. It spins very smooth. |
 |
| It's a Golding spindle! I know! I know! It's more than awesome...and it's sitting on an ounce of Qiviut that I got at the Windy Valley Musk Ox vendor. |
 |
| It's another Golding. This beauty is gorgeous! |
 |
| It's called "Moon Cats". It spins like a dream. |
 |
| Rhinebeck waiting to go home. |
 |
| Sleepy ewe. |
Monday morning starts the trek back home. Hitting the road early and hoping we don't hit any rush hour traffic, construction, or accidents.
